Buying a home in Balkbrug-Benedenvaart, Balkbrug.
Balkbrug-Benedenvaart is a quiet corner of the village where you'll find families and long-time homeowners who've put down roots here. Most houses date from the 1970s and 80s, and they typically sit on larger plots than you'd find in town. The village centre is close enough for daily needs, but you're far enough out to avoid the bustle. The Vecht river runs nearby, giving the neighbourhood a greener, more open feel than you might expect from a small Overijssel village.
